Tickets for the Coronation Concert became available this week after a ballot but many royal fans were left disappointed when they missed out on tickets.
They were also baffled to receive an email from Ticketmaster congratulating them on their success in the ticket ballot because when they clicked the link taking them to the website, all tickets had sold out.
A Ticketmaster spokesperson told Newsquest: “Everyone who was successful in the two main ballot rounds for the Coronation Concert was offered a guaranteed pair of tickets, provided they claimed them within three weeks. “Today, any unclaimed tickets were released on a first-come, first-served basis to those who had previously applied to the ballot . These inevitably went very quickly.”
Ticketmaster also explained that the email stated that tickets were on a “first come first served basis” and that fans needed to “act quickly in claiming tickets”.Many of those hoping to get to thenext month took to Twitter to share their frustration as they missed out on getting tickets to the event.
One tweeted: “so did anyone actually get a ticket for the #CoronationConcert @TicketmasterUK @RoyalFamily ? or just the email saying ‘you have tickets’ but ‘no you don’t!’
